Anyone own this yet?

Can you confirm if it can load DHC? (STOwiki says it can)

A screenshot would be great thanks :D

    The shipyard description says nothing about being able to load cannons and somehow I doubt any KDF fleet has reached Shipyard Tier 3 yet.

    Still, considering how much attention is being paid to the KDF, there may be some misinformation, like with the Kar'Fi - it doesn't say anywhere that it can load dual cannons, but in fact it can. The Marauder FDC cannot, but I don't know what Cryptic has done with Corsair and Dacoit when they released them - perhaps these ones are in fact able to mount DC, thus the copy-paste info on the Fleet variant.

    Still, I am honestly disappointed with this ship, looking at its stats. I was really hoping we would get Fleet Marauder, instead of, or together with this inferior Tier 4 retrofit. But nope - once again the KDF are an afterthought. I can't even say I'm willing to change ships to the Corsair, as I prefered flying a Tank Marauder with fighter support, instead of this science oriented variant...

    If the fleets maintained their lead over the one I'm in (having Fleet Tor'Kahts and Fleet Somraws days before our T2 went into cooldown), there should be T3 shipyards out for KDF already. Our T3 shipyard comes out of cooldown in 2-1/2 days.

    Probably incorrect information with regards to cannons, if I putting things up on STOWiki, I'd just assume it'd be able to take cannons, since the vast majority of KDF ships can. Though, the shipyard doesn't say the Fleet Tor'Kaht can take cannons, but it definately can.

    I've seen several KDF Fleets reach T3 as I've seen other Fleet ships flying around. The shipyard doesn't state any ship can load cannons last I checked. The lower tiered Corsair cannot load cannons from what I've heard. However ships like the Patrol Escort was altered as the Fleet version has a universal station. So I'm hoping the Fleet Corsair was altered from its lower version to load cannons.

    They intend on releasing Fleet versions as time goes by for both Fed and KDF. Our advantage is that with the lower number of ships we've got compared to Fed side. Eventually we'll have Fleet versions for everything :)

    Indeed, its very basic information and I wish a Dev would just step in and say "Yes" or "No". I mean its a $20 purchase, the least they could do is inform the customer of what I might be getting.

    Yeah, my fleet is around there as well, in terms of progress.

    I'm also curious about this, the wiki also used to say it had target subsystems like tradition carriers as well but changed recently.

    Does anyone really know anything about the Corsair really? lol

    The Devs do.... I'm not wasting $20 on a guess..

    If I knew the stats it would maybe convince me to purchase it... As it stands I'm not planning on it till I know the specs.

    Either way I'm kinda interested in it, partly because I love pets and partly because its kinda cool to have a cruiser with a science lt cmdr.

    How close is your Fleet to T3?

    I'd love to know the answer to my question when you do.

    I do like the bridge seating on the ship.

    I just want to make sure I'm not losing DPS by not being able to use my Quad cannons. I'm in a Kar'fi atm and have flown an Orion Marauder before that.

    I 99% sure it can mount dual cannons; I saw a non-Fleet retrofit Corsair using dual heavies in a FA the other day. The heavy bolts are different than the standard ones, which this also had, coming from its turrets. Mind you, this was the standard retrofit, not the Fleet version, but I can't picture it being any different in this regard.

    As far as I haver seen, any non-Gorn ship aside from the Marauder, on the KDF side, can mount dual cannons. I can also verify that the Recluse can mount dual cannons, although that setup only really shines when you're on probe duty in KASE, IMHO.

    I don't have a fleet >.< apparently the kind of fleet I want in the KDF doesn't exist. I got close once but the guild is close to death as I was ready to join it.
